Who Should I Start? Jalen McMillan or Jalen Coker

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was seen on Thursday without a neck brace, and he's supposedly targeting a return in December, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. McMillan's 21-day practice window has not yet been opened, though, as he recovers from multiple broken bones in his neck and a severe sprain that he suffered in the preseason. It's good news that the 23-year-old might be able to return next month as the Bucs push toward a playoff berth, especially with veteran wideout Mike Evans (collarbone) unlikely to contribute again during the regular season. McMillan's role if/when he returns is unclear, though, and injured receiver Chris Godwin (leg) could also be back by then. McMillan may be the WR4 behind Godwin and rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson when he's activated, which means he shouldn't be a priority stash in fantasy leagues at this time.

Jalen Coker caught all four of his targets for 52 total yards and finished with 11.2 PPR points in Week 11. It was the first time this season that Coker registered double-digit PPR fantasy points. Carolina is facing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. They rank 28th in Fantasy Points Per Game Allowed to WRs this year. Although Coker has a great fantasy matchup, he simply doesn't produce enough to take advantage of the draw. He is behind Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette on the depth chart and has yet to be targeted more than four times in a single game. Coker has not caught a TD pass or reached 55 receiving yards in five games played this year.
